Impact of Function Pointers on the Call Graph
Maintenance activities are made more difficult when pointers are heavily used in source code: the programmer needs to build a mental model of memory locations and of the way they ...

Precise Call Graphs for C Programs with Function Pointers
Abstract. The use of pointers presents serious problems for software productivity tools for software understanding, restructuring, and testing. Pointers enable indirect memory acce...

An Empirical Study of Function Pointers Using SPEC Benchmarks
Since the C language imposes little restriction on the use of function pointers, the task of call graph construction for a C program is far more di cult than what the algorithms d...

Accurate Call Graph Extraction of Programs with Function Pointers Using Type Signatures
Software engineers need to understand programs in order to effectively maintain them. The call graph, which presents the calling relationships between functions, is a useful repre...
